Grassroots bring fresh ideas and new strategies to politics

I’m continually amazed what comes out of meetings I have with groups of passionate conservatives.  When you mix principles with some technology…and throw in a penchant for stirring the pot…you are seeing some very cool results.

I had a meeting yesterday where 3 game changing campaign tactics came out that I’d never considered.  I moved onto another non-political meeting and bumped into a very creative conservative friend of mine and he delivered an idea that we’ll deploy shortly (when it’s public we’ll give public credit to this individual).

As Operation Red State continues to build momentum and bring on more consulting clients…you’ll see more of our concepts enter the “mainstream” like blogs, Facebook, and Twitter have.  “So what” is my response to the Twitpoliticos who are embracing this new found manna.  “Now you’ve got the same set of tools that Liberals embraced years ago…WHAT’S NEXT?”

The what’s next is what’s happening in our world.

I’d encourage you to include some new campaign ideas and fresh concepts in the comments below.  If you think they should ONLY be viewed by conservatives so the other side won’t grab your brilliance…email it to me.  We’ll give you credit when we go public with the tactica/idea/concept.  Sound fair?  Now sound off!

Hey there…I got a chance to share the vision and mission of Operation Red State briefly while on the air with Jan Mickelson yesterday.  I was in studio with Dave Funk running against Leonard Boswell in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District.  Thanks Jan for having me on with Dave.

I really enjoyed my first ORS Red Alert Hour without guests (but really…who wants to hear me blather for an hour?). I talked about Health Care Reform debate…and the lunacy of Sheila Jackson Leigh (unreal by the way). Take a listen and if you’d like to be a guest on the show, please let me know.

I had the great privilege of spending 2 hours on the air last night chatting about Socialized Medicine, Gulfstream Jets for Congress, and the Denial of Service Attacks on Twitter, and Facebook.

Tomorrow, the Operation Red State Red Alert Hour show will be a barn buster. We’re going to have a couple of young people on (one voting age…one who will vote in the next election)…..along with the man in charge of getting those people to vote in this great state Matt Strawn Chairman of the Republican Party of Iowa.

I can’t wait to see what we find out.

Join us please at 5PM-6PM Central tomorrow, Thursday the 6th of August, 2009 on www.macsworldlive.com

Is your campaign fully equipped to drive “online omnipresence” ?

I’ve been talking with quite a few campaigns lately and many ask the same question, “Well, I’m on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube already so what will YOU do differently?”  Good question.

ORS brings the concept of “Online Omnipresence” to the table.  What’s that?  Our prime directive is to build many tribes around our candidates through better communication…by leveraging technology.  We identify, capture, and publish more content deliver the REAL candidate in ways and places that people desire…vs. pushing what we THINK people want down their throats.  Sure we’ll be in many of the same places where YOU are opposition…but most certainly when you’re paying exorbitant rates for other marketing mediums…we’ll be moving more quickly and delivering more value to our clients.

See you out there…I mean everywhere.
